    No it isn't from North. I have not actually seen North but based upon what I know it sounds like it WOULD top Femme Fatale on the turkey scale.

    A wild guess: Batman and Robin?

    I think we might need a hint...

    And Batman and Robin definitely tops Femme Fatale. Or any other film in the last 10 years for that matter...

    Neither of those.

    The quote is about an Egyptian statue. The speaker is the token somewhat normal person out of the three main "good" characters.

    Yes, it is the punchline of that old gag of Expert 1 - I found the "insert artifact name". Expert 2 - I found the "insert name of another artifact". Normal Person - Uhm, I found a statue of "insert humorously ignornant physical description".

    In this case I remember what artifact #2 was (scrolls from the Great Library at Alexandria) but I can't remember what artifact #1 was. I probably missed it because I was laughing too hard at the centuries old miracle fuel that they were using to light the place. :shake:

    One of The Mummy films?

    On the subject of Batman & Robin, a mate of mine who did film studies genuinely listed it as one of his top 10 favourite films. The rest of his year used to refer to him as "Batman & Robin boy". The shame! :shake:

    EDIT - :doh: crossed posts with Beren AND JSBB - sorry; my food was burning!

    No it isn't from any Mummy related film. There are no supernatural aspects to this film - unless you count questionable science and history plus an absolute lack of anything that remotely resembles plausibility. ;)

    So it's an Egypt-based film, without Mummies or anything supernatural? What the hell is it about, then? Actual archaeology? Oh dear... :lol:

    There was something on fairly recently that looked really bad... but I've completely forgotten what it was. :grr: But if it hasn't got Mummies in, I'm stumped, frankly.

    To guess wildly: Tomb Raider?

    How about that piece of crap with Nicholas Cage and the treasure map on the Declaration of Independence -- National Treasure. I never saw it but recall that it was supposed to have some Egyptian bit.

    dmc has got it. I would put in some more nasty comments but dmc's rating pretty much hits the nail on the head.

    Ugh. I'm not sure how much credit I want for this. I guess it's fine, as I did not actually see the thing.

    Anyway:

    My grandfather used to work for your grandfather. Of course the rates have gone up.
